First Cut Is In...

[PuRock]

[b]Mods can you change the title of the thread to encompass all cuts instead of just the dutch?[/b]

[Perfekt]

i know its going to be a few cuts that we are going to be split on. i think its a given that williams makes the team but i hope miller makes the team as well. i was rooting for gerrad but it seems like hes never on the field.

[PuRock]

Ravens have also place Ayanbadejo & Lawrence on the reserve PUP list. Interesting that they are keeping Lawrence teetering around the roster.

[Perfekt]

yea i was just about to post that. so now lets get down to the other bubble guys that may be gone.

if d will doesnt play on thursday is he gone? i would rather have smith and reed over him. atleast they still have upside. i been rooting for d will but he has done nothing but let me down.

Before the Stallworth injury I thought D-Will would be gone. But D-Will is really the only semi-expierenced guy in our WR depth that can stretch the field. He showed some promise o.f. this last year.

I think they might actually keep D-Will just so they can send him on deep routes to keep the defenses from keying in on Boldin and Mason. He's a stretch the field type player. With any hope he might actually catch some balls.

I see what you did there .

Although, anytime you can land a guy on the PUP and hold onto him longer, I see no reason why you shouldn't. Is there a limit to the amount of players placed on the PUP? The IR donesn't have one, right?

With all due respect to Lawrence. He plays hard, he is a great gunner on special teams. I like the guy and see value to this team.

As far as I know there are no limits to how many guys can be placed on the PUP list. But after the six weeks you have to figure out what will be done with them.

Of course. Same goes for BA. An incredible asset to our special teams...not to mention he was starting to look awesome in coverage last year.

That would make sense. I guess it's fair to place anyone on the PUP as long as they've dealt with a legitimate injury and haven't been seeing snaps in training camp. I love the system, though. It keeps us from having to cut guys who could have a major impact on this team once they recover from injury.

clayton can strecth the field im sick of putting faith in a guy that doesnt show faith in himself.

So two more cuts by 4 pm today...

I will predict Devon Tyler and Albert McClellan (Just because I haven't heard much about them). But if they decide to keep OL over CB, I would say Brad Jones or Chris Hawkins.

[Perfekt]

probally not going to be anymore cuts for today.

There has to be. They need to go to 75 players by 4 pm today, so thats 2 more players.

[Perfekt]

they placed Lawerence and B.A. on the PuP so that took care of the remaining two spots. I mean they could still waive guys but i dont see it happening today.

Actually they are at the 75 roster limit after they put BA and Lawrence on the Reserve PUP. Players on the Active PUP count against roster limits, players on the Reserve PUP do not.

who do yall think will be on the PS?

Here's my educated guess:

Mattison, Riley, Joe Reitz, Chris Hawkins, McClellan, McLaughlin, Devin Tyler, Harper (maybe, think they might just part ways).

They might try and put Steele on the practice squad, but he probably won't make it there.

[Perfekt]

so then you have miller make the cut? if so thats what im thinking as well but not sure because hes on the bubble.

its going to be either riley or harper that are let go im going with riley even tho hes a coach fav. i dont see us letting harper go just yet only because hes been good thru camp just didnt show up in the preseason.

im not a fan of mattison but i think he makes it just cuz hes the coachs son. hawkins is another player im unsure of because of steele but i feel you i think someone will snatch him as soon as we place him on PS.

It's going to depend upon his return showing on Thursday night. He hasn't done much in coverage to keep a place on the team. But he is a rookie and is versatile. So we shall see. He might be moved to the PS.

[Perfekt]

with stallworth going down i think that effected his chances. i think if he hadnt gone down he would have a spot on the team. i think we both agree that M. Smith makes the team tho.

Yea. He's been playing tough. Excellent contributor on special teams. He'll be there.

[Perfekt]

i honestly think he bumps d. will, harper, and reed. if reed wants to make this team he has to have the game of his life and which team better than the rams.

[Alexir]

Cuts starting already.

[s]Prince Miller[/s]
[s]Albert McClellan[/s]

2 Down, a lot more to go. I think we might try to PS these guys.

[Milton145]

Poor Miller. I was actually rooting for him. I guess he didn't make enough big plays to mask the mistakes he made in pass coverage.

[PuRock]

Ravens Insider has been twittering the cuts.

Eron Riley, Davon Drew, OL Devin Tyler, Prince Miller, Shayne Graham and Albert McClellan are all cut supposedly.

David Reed and Ramon Harwood have made the team

Albert McClellan was a given. Trying to transition to a new position (LB) that was already crowded? I wouldn't mind seeing both him and Miller on the Squad.

[Milton145]

WOOOOOOO!!! Cundiff is our kicker!

[DrMoonTooth]

Great to hear Cundiff kept his job...he honestly earned it. I'm excited that Harewood and D. Reed made it, too. Both of those guys have a ton of upside.

Edit: Davon Drew was a given, too. No reason to keep four tight ends.

[Alexir]

So Happy Eron got cut. He is probably the Most Hyped up player next to Troy Smith.

Yeah, give me a +1 [img]http://boards.baltimoreravens.com/public/style_emoticons/default/ICONATOR_01040da29c18a4eed76047129ab4a29d.gif[/img]

He'll probably still be on the practice squad and back into TC next year.

I was figuring these guys would get cut. Who gets cut from here is going to be tough.
